Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, out of these offences against property, the right of private defence is not available?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under s.35 BNS (formerly s.97 IPC), the right of private defence of property is available against theft, robbery, mischief, and criminal trespass or attempts at these, but not against criminal breach of trust, since that offence involves property already entrusted to and in the possession of the person committing it, not property being taken by force or stealth.
